Dear Kolibri community,
We are often asked for recommendations for content creation tools by implementers and educators who are interested in creating interactive resources for use offline. I’m excited to spread awareness of SceneryStack by our friends at PhET:
SceneryStack is an open-source TypeScript framework designed to create powerful, interactive, and accessible web experiences. SceneryStack offers front-end web development libraries for building engaging simulations, educational tools, or next-generation web applications. Included is support for robust accessibility features like dynamic screen-reader descriptions and alternative input (e.g., keyboard navigation).
If you are interested in creating HTML5 interactive resources for compatible use in Kolibri, we encourage you to take a look at what SceneryStack offers.
Relatedly, the work to build SceneryStack was funded by a now-terminated NSF grant. NSF funding has been critical to developing and advancing resources for STEM education, like SceneryStack.
